Donatello (clone) appears in the live action series, Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation.
History[]
On orders from Dragon Lord, Cornelius Quease sets about collecting DNA from each of the Turtles, which he will use to create clones of them. The Donatello clone is the second of the clones to be created. Because the Raphael (clone) touched him with his fists, he has some of the real Donatello’s sweat on him. Quease uses the DNA from that sweat to create Donatello’s duplicate.
The Turtles drive to Dragon Lord's Fortress after figuring out that the strange happenings in the sewers are probably the work of Dr. Quease. They enter the ground floor, and then Donatello clone jumps onto a packing crate. Leonardo thinks it’s the real Donatello at first, but then the clone attacks him. Donatello comes to the rescue and while both lookalikes are battling, the other Turtles try to figure out which is the real one. They finally ask a question that only the real Donatello can answer. The four Turtles jump on the Donatello clone and drop him to the floor. Donatello then locates the other clones and follows them into the laboratory, pretending to be a clone.
After one full clone team has been created, Dragon Lord wants Quease to grow an army of mutants for him. Once that army is complete, Dragon Lord will himself be mutated into what he terms as “a glorious dragon deity”.
Each clone is fitted with a Mega Spinal Thermostat which is attached to the upper part of their carapace. A coiled cord runs up from the Thermostat to the back of their head. Dr. Quease uses the Mega Spinal Thermostat to control the clones. Using a special tool, he can adjust the thermostats to flood the clones’ veins with rage endorphins.
Donatello listens to Quease’s conversation with Dragon Lord and hears all of their plans before Quease discovers that he is not a clone. At that moment, the other Turtles drag the Donatello clone into the room and dump him into a trash receptacle. They have immobilized the clone by removing his Thermostat device. After all of the clones are defeated, Quease activates a device that carbonizes the clones in liquid nitrogen, which completely disintegrates the remains.
Physical Appearance[]
The Donatello Clone looks exactly like the real Donatello with the only difference being the Mecha Spinal Thermostat attached to the upper part of his carapace.
